Octopaminergic descending neurons in
Article in Heliyon, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Projection neurons that communicate between different brain regions and local neurons that shape computation within a brain region form the majority of all neurons in the brain. Another important class of neurons is neuromodulatory neurons; these neurons are in much smaller numbers than projection/local neurons but have a large influence on computations in the brain. Neuromodulatory neurons are classified by the neurotransmitters they carry, such as dopamine and serotonin. Much of our knowledge of the effect of neuromodulators comes from experiments in which either a large population of neuromodulatory neurons or the entire population is perturbed. Alternatively, a given neuromodulator is exogenously applied. While these experiments are informative of the general role of the neurotransmitter, one limitation of these experiments is that the role of individual neuromodulatory neurons remains unknown. In this study, we investigate the role of a class of octopaminergic (octopamine is the invertebrate equivalent of norepinephrine) neurons in
